The new and grand stadium built in Motera excited some fans but did not excite some others. When the first ball of the third Test between India and England was bowled, there were a handful of fans at the 1,10,000-capacity stadium that has been open to 55,000 fans for this match.

A few more fans came as the day progressed on a week-day afternoon.

Of those that came, the lower tier with bright orange seats was the preferred choice because of the visibility.
